Fano Fibrations and Twisted Kähler-Einstein Metrics II: The Kähler-Ricci Flow

Abstract: This is the second of two papers studying both the geometric structure of Fano fibrations and the application to Kähler-Ricci flows developing a singularity in finite time. We assume that the Kähler-Ricci flow on a compact Kähler manifold has a rational initial metric and develops a singularity in finite time such that the manifold admits a Fano fibration structure. Moreover, it is assumed that the volume form of the flow collapses uniformly at the rate of $C^{-1}(T-t)^{n-m} Ω\leq ω(t)^n\leq C(T-t)^{n-m}Ω$. Under this setting, a diameter bound is obtained in any compact set away from singular fibres and the diameter of the fibres is proven to collapse at the optimal rate $\sqrt{T-t}$. Furthermore, several precise $C^0$-estimates are proven for the potential of the complex Monge-Ampere flow which involve the potentials of singular twisted Kähler-Einstein metrics on the base variety from part I. Finally, in the case of Kähler-Einstein Fano fibres, we deduce Type I scalar curvature in any compact set away from singular fibres and globally for a submersion.
